     "text": "Sublethal toxicity testing and sensitive whole organism endpoints, like behavior and neuromotor function, are of emerging importance in the field of ecotoxicology. Behavioral responses are mediated through the integration of neural, neuroendocrine and neuromuscular signals, contributing to complex and highly variable inter-individual responses in exposed organisms. These overarching themes in the field of animal behavior can be universally applied across toxicological agents, model organisms, organism life stage and endpoints."
